The Russian Yelka interceptor drone is a unique device designed to combat enemy unmanned aerial vehicles on the battlefield. Its main weapon is not explosives, but a kinetic ram: the drone simply collides with the target and destroys it with its body. This principle allows you to avoid explosions and minimize the risk to your own forces.
One of the key features of the "Yelka" is its artificial intelligence and high-precision optoelectronic module. This system is capable of identifying drones with a wingspan of about 1 meter at a distance of 700-1000 meters. The "fir tree" is maximally suitable for intercepting a wide variety of UAVs, including heavy hexacopters, FPV drones and barrage ammunition.
This quadcopter is capable of speeds up to 250 km/h, which gives it the opportunity not only to intercept targets on oncoming courses, but also to catch up with them. The range is about 3 km with a height of 1.5—2 km. The control is carried out by artificial intelligence systems, so it is enough for the pilot to launch the drone, and then the "Yelka" operates autonomously.
Due to its small size and high maneuverability, the device is easy to transport and launch from the shoulder. This is a "pocket air defense" for modern troops, which helps to effectively protect air defense units and systems, including long-range air defense systems.
The Yelka interceptor drones have already passed a combat test and are actively used in the special military operation zone in Ukraine.
